“Be aware that the Grosvenor is in a mountain, so there are a LOT of steps to walk up when you're finished walking around in Simon's Town (unless you're driving). Well worth it though - this is an excellent place to stay.” (LikeSandOnMyFeet)

We had booked a twin room here and were given a two bedroom cottage instead since the guest house had a group of people staying and the manageress thought we would be more comfortable on our own. The cottage was really lovely with 2 good sized double rooms (each with bathroom) and a fully equipped kitchen and sitting room together...

While visiting family in Cape Town we decide to base ourselves in Simon's Town. Picked the Grosvenor as it was well rated and it lived up to every word.
It's easy to find and since it's only one road up the slope from the main road it's quiet, but still close enough for all the beaches, shops and restaurants.
We...

Jonathan and James were great as well, providing a great breakfast on any morning we wanted one, it was quite delightful. J and J also went above and beyond the call of duty,...

Tucked away up a hill off the Main Street in Simons Town, the Grosvenor is a beautiful spot to base yourself for exploring the cape. The views across the sea are gorgeous and the breakfast and pool areas make the most if them! Great service, lovely big room and close to restaurants!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Grosvenor Guest House. The staff were friendly and helpful, the room was spacious and clean and we had good views over the harbour. The penguin colony is an easy walk away and is definitely worth a visit. I'd also recommend a visit to the Scatch Patch gemstones shop and factory on Dido Valley...

My daughter and I stayed here together while vacationing in South Africa and fell in love with the Grosvenor! Not only was it a beautiful room with a balcony overlooking the bay which was so lovely in the afternoon, but the people there were so kind and helpful. James and Jonathon were there for any need that we had and...

We were recommended this Guest House by the very nearby Apex Predators shark viewing operators. We were so pleased to have taken up their recommendation wishing we had stayed there for our whole 4 days in Simon's Town instead of 2 days. Both the rooms were lovely with super views over The Bay and Simon's Town. The whole place was...

Debby and Sue really know how to make their guests happy. They surprised us with a some bubbles in the garden. We had a very spacious room with a big bathroom. The breakfast was served outside and the great staff made it just as we liked it. But the best part was definitely the fantastisc view: while enjoying our breakfast,...
